One word - impressive

The rule in FFE was 1 passenger per cabin. Wonder if they'll 'bunk up' in E: D and be able to share. :D
Well, you can fit two people in one of those stasis tube thingies, so that's very snug. But they won't be able to get up to much, being in stasis'n'all. Shame :p

cabins and quality of transport for passengers
the player can fit their ship with a number of different cabin types. Some ships can only fit the most basic types of passenger transport, but luxury liners are free to choose from the entire range. The better the quality of the cabin the more a passenger will be willing to pay to travel, but the more expensive, spacious and heavy the cabin module will be (occupying more space in the players ship, and limiting the player's options to fit other modules)
the types of cabin available are:
Class 1 - stasis tube rack
this is a powered cargo rack that the player must fit in their cargo hold. It allows the player to carry two passengers per rack, transported like cargo
passengers in stasis tubes will not offer the player missions en route
stasis tube racks can be fitted in any type of ship
class 2 - basic passenger cabin
this powered cabin allows a single passenger to be transported in a conscious state. The cabin features rudimentary facilities
passengers in basic passenger cabins have a low chance of offering the player low paying missions en route
basic passenger cabins can be fitted to any ship type
class 3 - travel cabin
this powered cabin allows up to two passengers to be transported in a relatively civilised state. This is the equivalent of travelling second class today
passengers in basic passenger cabins have a chance of offering the player medium paying missions en route
travel cabins can only be fitted to liners
class 4 - first class cabin
this powered cabin allows up to four passengers to be transported in high quality surroundings. Players have a number of facilities and services available to them, automated by the room
passengers in first class cabins have a good chance of offering the player medium to high paying missions en route
first class cabins can only be fitted to liners
class 5 - luxury cabin
this powered cabin allows up to four passengers to be transported in absolute luxury. Years of research into human pleasure has resulted in the pinnacle of luxury travel arrangements
passengers in luxury cabins have a high chance of offering the player high paying missions en route
luxury cabins can only be fitted to liners

I'm interested to see how much space there will be on the passanger ships for weapons and shields because otherwise these ships might find themselves in a bit of trouble with pirates trying to kidnap folks or even assassination attempts.

Is it likely that passenger ships will be passing through pirate infested space?

It's been stated that certain passangers will offer missions, one of which might be that they want to see a "bit of action" or pass through a specific system where something significant had happened. I would also think that given a high enough prize, pirates would risk an attack in a supposed "safer" system. Also if the passangers are on a tight timescale you might be forced to go through systems you really would rather avoid.

In that case, let's take these idiots money! "Prepare to be boarded!"

Only on exclusive pirate-hunting tourist excursions. Each cabin will be fitted with it's own pulse laser to allow the pirate-hunter-for-a-day the experience of a lifetime, all costs included in the basic package.*

*The company is not responsible for any injuries, slavery or death that you may experience.

"OH SHAP! Prepare to unboard!"
 
This video is huge. If the game is like that, will be total immersion. I downloaded it in 1080p and it's great. Impossible not have chills, especially with the music at the end
